Brushed with Beauty, Petals of Beauty, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a card to share with you that I found on Pinterest. I liked the layout but didn't want a card that opened with the square piece so I modified it to suit the look I wanted. You can see the original card by clicking here. There was no clicking through to see where the card came from or for any other directions, so I guessed at the measurements. Please read on to see how the card was made. 

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. Most of my cards start out with the white card stock because I find it easier to do it that way and add the colored layers and avoid adding a white piece on the inside for writing on. When I'm done decorating the front of my card, I'm usually done with the inside too! 

I took a piece of Petal Pink and before taping it to the front of the card I used the largest square die in the "Stylish Shapes" set and cut the piece from the middle. The Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Basic White strip will hide the opening that was made and no one is the wiser. Plus it's being a bit frugal. Read on there's more frugality to come! I taped this piece to the front of the card.

Next I cut my DSP from the "Brushed with Beauty" 12" x 12" package. It measures 3-1/4" x 3-3/4" and I cut a Basic White piece 2" x 3-3/4". I took the Basic White piece and textured it using the "Stone & Vine" embossing folder. I glued it in place on the right side of the card. Then I taped the piece of DSP in place. It overlaps the Basic White piece a little. I did that on purpose because I wasn't sure where I was going with these pieces. You can trim either a bit to fit better but it's not going to show.

Using the second largest square die in the "Stylish Shapes" set I cut one of Basic White. Before taping it to the Petal Pink square, I stamped the flower from the "Petals of Beauty" bundle using Petal Pink ink. I cut it out using the matching die. Make sure you center your flower or it could show.  After taping the squares together I added Dimensionals to the back. I set it in place on the front of the card. I lined up the tips of the squares with the seams of the DSP and embossed piece. If you don't have the square dies you can cut your pieces at 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" for the colored piece and 2-3/8" x 2-3/8" for the white piece. 

The greenery is from the "Petals of Beauty" bundle and were cut using Mossy Meadow ink. I cut the tip of the top leaf. Tape was added to each petal and the piece was set in place on the squares. 

Dimensionals were added to the back of the flower and the flower was set in place on over the top half leaf. I had some (retired) "White Perfect Accents" embellishments and I set them in place on the front of the card. 

I didn't add any wording because I'm not sure what I want the card to say yet. It's not speaking to me yet.

This was a fun card to make and I really do like this layout. I cut the pieces out of scrap copier paper and taped them to a folded half-sheet of scrap copier paper so I could have template/sketch to follow in the future. I also write the date on the front of when it was posted on my blog so I can go back and look to see what I did and what changes I might want to make.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's card,

Cute as a Bug, Sweet Bugs, Fragrant Layers, Friendship Cards, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a friendship card to share with you using the layout I played with yesterday but today I turned it on it's side, sort of. LOL. Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top. 

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Poppy Parade card stock. In the center of that piece of card stock I cut a circle using the second largest die in the "Stylish Shapes" set. After cutting the circle, I taped the piece to the front of the card base. 

A 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Cute as a Bug" 12" x 12" package and I taped it to a 3-3/4" x 3-3/4" piece of Basic White card stock. Then I taped that to the front of the card on the left.

On the right the Basic White strip was cut at 1" x 3-3/4". It's textured using the "Damask Designs" embossing folder. There was a piece of textured card stock in my stash and I just trimmed it to fit my card. I glued this piece to the right side.

The cute bee is from the same package of DSP and I cut it out using the third largest die in the "Stylish Shapes" set.  Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card.

The words are from the "Fragrant Layers" bundle and were stamped using Poppy Parade ink. I cut them out using the second smallest die in the "Stylish Shapes" set. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card. 

I die cut a little flower from the same package of DSP. Actually I had to cut it out, it was a piece that was just sitting there from when I cut other pieces off the sheet. I just couldn't toss out the flower. The die is from the "Sweet Bugs" bundle.  I used a small Dimensional on the back of the flower and I set it on the upper part of the circle. 

I added a ladybug from the "Ladybug Garden" epoxy shapes package.  And that was it.

This is a super quick and easy card to make. Not a lot of stamping and a great use of DSP!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's friendship card,

Fragrant Layers, Lovely & Beautiful,Fabulous Sayings, Friendship Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a friendship card to share with you. I found a card on Pinterest but I didn't want to use the same layout (sort of), their card has the front cut off about an inch but I wanted to keep the front solid. You can see the original card by clicking here. Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Peach Pie card stock for the front large layer. Before taping it to the front of the card I cut the 3rd largest circle from the "Stylish Shapes" die set. I made sure I had it off to the left enough so it wouldn't show once the card was put together. I also cut the flower from the "Fragrant Layers" bundle.  I set it just below the circle I was cutting. Then I taped the Peach Pie piece to the front of the card base.

Next I cut a 5" x 2-3/4" piece of Basic White card stock for the layer behind the Designer Series Paper (DSP). 

The DSP is from the "Lovely & Beautiful" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the Basic White layer. This was then taped to the front of the card, towards the left. I needed to make sure I had room for the Basic White strip.

A 3/4" x 5" piece of Basic White was cut and then textured using the "Stone & Vine" embossing folder. I glued that to the right side of the card. You are really going to need glue for this texture. It's so bumpy that there's not a lot of flat spots for tape to stick without smashing down the texture.

The words were stamped next. They are from the "Fabulous Sayings" set and were stamped using Calypso Coral ink. I cut them out using the 4th circle in the "Stylish Shapes" die set. I taped them to the Peach Pie circle. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card.

Using the outline flower die from the "Fragrant Layers" bundle I cut one out of Basic White card stock and I colored it using my dark Cajun Craze Blends pen. I glued it in place and then I taped the flower in place on the circle. 

The leaves are from the same bundle and were cut using Old Olive card stock. I put tape on the bottom petals (I did cut the stems off) and tucked them under the flower.

I added a brass butterfly and the card was done.

This was a very fun, quick and easy card to make. I do like this layout. I can see myself using up a lot of DSP with layout!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's friendship card,

Lovely Arrangements, Lovely Blooms, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a birthday card to share with you that I found on Pinterest.  You can see the original card by clicking here.  I thought it was a fun card to try. I did change the orientation of the circle piece. I bought this set because I really liked both the flowery looking die and the circles die. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top. 

I die cut the flowery looking piece and the circle pieces using Basic White card stock. I glued them in place. I just set them where I thought they looked the best.

Next I stamped the leaves using Granny Apple Green ink on Basic White card stock. I cut them out using the matching die in the . I cut three sets. The tanish leaves were cut out using another die in the "Lovely Arrangements" bundle. That is from the "Lovely Blossoms" 12" x 12" package of Designer Series Paper (DSP). I cut three sets of those leaves.

The flowers were stamped using Secret Sea ink and were cut using the matching dies from the same bundle. I had also stamped the words and cut them at the same time.

I took a piece of Cloud Cover card stock that measured 5/8" x 4" and I textured it using the "Beautiful Pattern" embossing folder.  I trimmed it to 3-1/2" after cutting the angles.  I used card stock because I didn't have any of the ribbon used on the original card.  I glued this piece about 1-38" x about 1/16" from the right side edge. I think it would have looked better if I would have made it a bit longer.

Next I added the flowers and greens. I added glue to the center part of the half-flower and set it in place on the front of the card. Dimensionals were added to the large flower and it was lightly set on top of the card. 

Using glue I slipped the leaves in place. I added my glue close to the stem. 

I tied a bow using some linen thread and it was added with a little dot of glue. 

The words were glued in place and that to care of the flowers and greenery. A few pearls were added to the front and the card was done.

This was a fun card to make and I'm glad I got to play with the "Lovely Arrangements" bundle again.  I can see myself making more cards like this.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Lovely & Beautiful, Greenery Lane, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a birthday card to share with you that I found on Pinterest. I changed a few things on it though. It was fun to actually use the speciality side of the Designer Series Paper (DSP) than the other side, which I had used a lot! You can see the original card by clicking here.  Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I cut a 4' x 5-1/4' piece of DSP from the "Lovely & Beautiful" 12" x 12" page. It measure 4" x 5-1/4".  I taped it to the card base.  On the other side of the green is a busy piece with gold foil. I was glad to use the green, I liked it better. 

The floral image is from the same package of DSP and was cut at 3" x 4-1/4".  This is a very pretty sheet and I hadn't touched either one (you get 2 in a package). I was too busy using the other sides for other cards. I love the huge flower and the soft colors.  I taped this to a piece of gold foil card stock (I didn't have any brushed gold). This piece of gold measures 3-1/8" x 4-3/8".  Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card using equal spacing all around.

The words were done on my computer. I just like how it looked and thought I'd print it out and die cut them. The die is from the "Stylish Shapes" set. I also cut a gold foil piece. On the gold piece, I cut it in half and then taped the word piece to each half, leaving a little exposed on each end. A sweet touch. 

The leaves are from the "Greenery Lane" bundle and were cut using the gold foil card stock. I added a little dot of glue on all of the solid leaves and set it in place on the front of the card.

I set the word piece in place using Dimensionals. And for a final touch I added a brass butterfly to the upper corner of the DPS.

This was a fun card to make. It was quick and easy too. I love the colors and it was fun to play with the foil card stock (I have a ton of that left too!)

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Impressions Abloom, Love Notes, The Right Words, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a thinking of you card to share. I found it on Pinterest and thought I'd give this layout a try.  You can see the original card by clicking here. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. 

I cut 1/2" off the front right side. I cut a 3/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Love Notes" 6" x 6" package. It was fun to use more pieces from that package since it's main theme is Valentine's Day. I taped that strip to the inside of the card on the right edge. It shows when the card is closed. When the card is closed it looks like the strip was taped to the front but it's really on the inside.

Next I cut three strips of the same color of DSP that measure 5/8" x 2-1/4" each.  I taped them to the front of the card. Starting with the bottom strip, it's about 1-3/8" up from the bottom and 1-1/8" from the fold. There is a 1/8" space between the strips. The second strip is about 5/8" from the fold and the top is the same as the bottom, 1-1/8" from the fold. 

Once the strips were taped in place I stamped the words. They are from "The Right Words" set and were stamped using Highland Heather ink.

The flowers, stem and leaves were cut next. Using Basic White card stock I used the dies from the "Impressions Abloom" bundle.  

I added glue to the double stem and set it in place on the front of the card. The smaller flower was taped in place and the larger flower was added using Dimensionals.  I taped the leaves on either side of the double stems. 

The tiny little flowers were taped in place and the card was done. I was going to add little pearls to the little flowers but I didn't want to pay extra postage to mail it. It looks fine without them but it would look prettier with them. I may add some Wink of Stella to the little flowers to give them the bling they are begging for.

This was such a fun, quick, and easy card to make. You can use up some of your scraps when making a card like this.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thinking of you card,

Wooly Friends, Simply Said, Lovely & Beautiful, Children's Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

 Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a birthday card to share with you that I think would make a good card for a child but an adult may like it too, though I'm leaning towards child. I found it on Pinterest. You can see the original card by clicking here.  

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a piece of Highland Heather to measure 4" x 5-1/4" for the largest layer. On top of that is a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Lovely & Beautiful" 12" x 12" package. It's cut at 3-1/5" x 4-7/8" and then cut along the diagonal. I taped the pieces to the Highland Heather piece.

The focal layers were cut as follows: the Highland Heather piece measures 2-7/8" x 4". The Crushed Curry piece measures 22-3/4" x 3-7/8" and the Basic White piece measures 2-5/8" x 3-3/4". 

I stamped the lamb from the "Wooly Friends" using black Memento ink on Basic White card stock. I also stamped the bow tie, head and flowers at the same time. I fussy cut the body and the flowers. I used my light Smoky Slate Blends pen to highlight the areas around the sheep's body and head. I laid the body on the Basic White piece to see where the grass would go. I colored the grass area on the Basic White piece using Old Olive ink and a blender brush. The sky was added with a blender brush using Balmy Blue.

I stamped the grass using Old Olive ink. Then I put the body back on the piece to see where the butterfly would go. I stamped the butterfly using black Memento ink. 

I used the detail stamps for the flowers and leaves. I stamped the flowers using Crushed Curry ink and Old Olive for the petals.  I was going to tape the fussy cut flowers in place but I didn't like how you could see the white between the flowers on the original card so I covered the flowers with my fingers and scrubbed on some Old Olive. I thought that would do the trick but then the grass in the background disappeared so once again I took out the grass stamp, I set the flowers were they were going to go and I used my MISTY and lined up the flowers and grass and stamp. I stamped the grass over the flower stems and I liked what I saw, it blended better. I taped the flowers on top of the grass. I'm glad I did color that area in, I REALLY like how it looks, it blends and is not distracting.

I colored the butterfly using my light Highland Heather Blends pen. I taped the Basic White piece to the Crushed Curry layered piece and that was set in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals. 

Dimensionals were added to the back of the sheep's body and it was set in place on the front of the card. I laid the head on top to see where the bow should go. I taped the bow in place. I put my head on a spring circle (I had my hubby print out for me on his 3D printer, he had made me some before but they were too big for this size head so he printed me some smaller ones. PERFECT!!). I used a glue dot to hold the piece to the head and I glued the back of the springy thing to it. Now the head wiggles when flicked. TOO cute!

The words are from the "Simply Said" set and were stamped using black Memento ink on a piece of Basic White card stock. I set them in place using Dimensionals. And that was it, the card was done.

This was a fun card to make and adding the wiggly thing gives the card a bit more fun.

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Brushed with Beauty, Simply Said, Petals of Beauty, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a birthday card to share with you using a simple layout. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of VeryVanilla card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Mossy Meadow card stock. On top of that is a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Brushed with Beauty" 12" x 12" package. I taped the two pieces together and then taped that to the front of the card base.

Next I cut the floral image. It's another piece from the same package of DSP. It measures 2" x 3" and the Mossy Meadow behind it measures 2-1/4" x 3-1/4". I taped the two layers together. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place and set aside.

The Mossy Meadow leaves were cut from Mossy Meadow card stock using a die from the "Petals of Beauty" bundle. I removed the backing from the Dimensionals and stuck the leaf piece to it. I added some tape to the top four leaves and I set the piece in place on the front of the card about 1/2" from the top, bottom, and left side.

The words are from the "Simply Said" set and were stamped on a scrap piece of Very Vanilla card stock using Mossy Meadow ink. I fussy cut around them. Then I glued them to a scrap piece of Mossy Meadow card stock and then I fussy cut around that. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card.

This was a super quick and easy card to make. I just think the flowers on that DSP are SO pretty.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Petals of Beauty, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a birthday card to share with you. I found this pretty card on Pinterest and thought I'd give it a try. You can see the original card by clicking here. There was no link to find any information on how the card was made so I had to wing it.  Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of the card i a folded half-sheet of Basic Beige card stock.  It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White and one of Basic Beige. I taped the white one inside the card and I began work on the beige one.

I cut a 2" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Bushed with Beauty" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the right side of the piece. I also cut a 1/4" x 5-1/4" strip of Calypso Coral card stock and glued it to the edge of the DSP. 

Then I ran the piece through my embossing machine using the "Beautiful Pattern" embossing folder. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card base.

I stamped the flowers from the "Petals of Beauty" bundle using Calypso Coral on the large one and Petal Pink on the smaller one. I stamped off once for the petals and then I used full ink on the outline of the petals.  I cut them out using the matching dies.

I cut the leaves from the same bundle. I used Old Olive on the tall open one and Mossy Meadow on the wider leafed piece.

A little bit of tape was added to the area where the flowers would go and I set the greenery in place. The flowers were added using Dimensionals.

The words were done on my computer. They were sitting on my worktable from a previous project and I didn't want them to get ruined so I thought I'd add it to this card and not have to think about it anymore. They were set in place with Dimensionals. But before I added them I tied a triple bow using linen thread. I added a dot of glue to hold it in place and then the words went on top.  And the card was done.

I just thought this was such a pretty card and I'm happy it turned out the way it did!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Wooly Friends, Lovely & Beautiful, Impressions Abloom, Friendship Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fun card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

As you can see it's another card using the sheep from the "Woolly Friends" set. And you guessed it, I did not put it away yesterday so it was right there in front of me when I came back to my worktable. Well, I had to use it! And here's what I came up with.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Lovely & Beautiful" 12" x 12" package.  I taped it to the front of the card.

The two strips of DSP are from the same package and they measure 1-4-3/4" and 2" x 5".  I taped the shorter one down first. It's about 3/8" from the fold and the other piece is about 3/4" from the fold.

The oval is from the "Impressions Abloom" bundle and was cut from a piece of Basic White card stock. I used a blending brush to color the grass in Old Olive ink and the sky in Balmy Blue ink. 

I stamped the grass next from the "Woolly Friends" set using Old Olive ink. I also stamped the flowers in Old Olive too. There's a stamp for the flower centers and I stamped them using Fresh Freesia ink. The leaves on the flowers were stamped using Old Olive ink. 

I stamped the bee and colored it's wings using Balmy Blue ink.

Then I stamped the sheep parts, the head, body and bow tie.

I used my light Smoky Slate Blends pen for the sheep's legs and wool. I added light Bubble Bath for the ears and nose. The bows were colored in using light Fresh Freesia and the other was colored in using Light Daffodil Delight

The words are from the same "Woolly Friends" set and were stamped using black Memento ink.

Dimensionals were added to the back of the sheep. I set them in place on the front of the card. Then I added the heads and bows.

Dimensionals were added to the back of the oval and it was set in place on the front of the card about 3/16" from the bottom of the card and equal spacing on the sides.  And the card was done.

This was a fun card to make and I REALLY like the words from this set. It's too bad there wasn't a sunshine image in the set.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's friendship card,
Wanda

Woolly Friends, Simply Said, Children's Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a cute lamb card to share with you. I found it on Pinterest. You can see the original card by clicking here. I changed it just a little. Please read on to see how it was made. 

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. I often use white for my cards because I have a ton of it and when I bought it, it was cheaper than the colored card stock. Plus I don't have to cut a piece of white for the inside. 

On top of the card base is a 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Fresh Freesia card stock. On top of that is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock. I taped the two pieces togehter.

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) that is used on the front is from the "Lovely & Beautiful" 12" x 12" package. The left strip was cut at 1-7/8" x 4-3/4". The two smaller pieces were cut at 1-7/8" x 2-7/16". They were taped to the front of the card.

Next I cut the arched piece. It's from the "Everyday Arches". I used the 6th one in that set. Then I stamped the images on the arched piece. I stamped the butterfly using black Memento ink and the flowers and grass were stamped using Old Olive ink. I stamped the grass about 1" up from the bottom edge of the arched piece and I went from there with the rest of the grass and flowers.  The images are from the "Woolly Friends" set. The flowers have a stamp to color them all in at one time and same with the leaves. I stamped the flowers using Fresh Freesia ink and Old Olive on the leaves.

Using my blending brush, I scrubbed on some Old Olive on the bottom and Balmy Blue on the sky. I did brush over the flowers and grass with my colors.

The lamb is from the same set and was punched out using the matching punch. I colored the legs and highlighted the wool using my light Smoky Slate Blends pen. The bow was colored in using my dark Daffodil Delight Blends pen. And the ears and nose were colored in using my light Bubble Bath Blends pen.

The words are from the "Simply Said" set and were stamped using Versa Mark ink on a piece of Fresh Freesia card stock. I sprinkled white embossing powder on them and heat set it. I cut them out using the die from the "Stylish Shapes" set. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card about 1/4" up from the bottom of the arched piece. 

I added Dimensionals to the back of the lamb's body and set it in place just a hair above the word piece. I taped the face and bow in place.

Dimensionals were added to the back of the arched piece and it was set in place on the front of the card and the card was done.

This was a very fun card to make and I think it makes a great card for children. Plus it would be a sweet Easter card too!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Days Like This, With You in Mind, Softest Spring, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a super quick and easy birthday card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Flirty Flamingo card stock for the largest layer. 

The layer with the butterflies is from the "Days Like This" memories & more card pack. I ran across it today in by pile of 6" x 6" stacks. I thought I'd play with that pack. I trimmed it to 3-3/4" x 5".  

The words are from the "With You in Mind" set. I stamped them using black memento ink. I taped it to the Flirty Flamingo card stock. Then I taped that to the front of the card base.

The pink puffy butterfly is from the "Softest Spring" mix & match puffy stickers. I pressed it in place and that was it, the card was done. I told you it was quick.

There's a few more pieces of this printed image and I'm going to put a few more cards together to use them up. It was a fun and quick card to make!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Simply Said, Lovely Blooms, Friendship Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a friendship card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made. 

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Lovely Blossoms" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the front of the card base.

Using the second and third dies for the circles from the "Stylish Shapes" set. The DSP is from the same package and I cut it using the smaller die and the larger die was cut from a piece of Basic White card stock. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card. It's about 3/4" from the sides and top.  

The words are from the "Simply Said" set and were stamped using black Memento ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I cut them out using the "Labeled with Love" punch. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card about 1" from each side 1/2" from the bottom. 

I added a few pearls to the front and the card was done. This was a super quick and easy card to make. I love using this layout and how quick it was to put together.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's friendship card,
Wanda
